Last time I talked about the Kaito "mouth" activity in @irys_xyz, a friend said that there are still quite a lot of data storage projects, including old protocols that have been around for several years, and new forces that have just joined this track this year. Ask me what advantages Irys has for projects with data (storage and compute) needs.
In fact, Irys, as a programmable data link, is fundamentally different from other storage protocols. Others are storage and compute separation, while Irys integrates the storage layer with an EVM-compatible execution layer (rysVM).
Simply put, the IRYS data storage and computational execution are on the same network layer, and smart contracts can directly read and write the underlying storage data without the need for cross-protocol calls (through oracles or external APIs), thereby improving performance, development efficiency, support for new scenarios, and economic models.
You can see the difference between IRYS as a programmable data link and other storage protocols by comparing the mechanism/features of IRYS with several projects below.
Compare Filecoin: Redefining Storage Efficiency and Economic Models
Compare Arweave: Solve the cost and feature bottlenecks of persistent storage
Compare Story: Scale-out data infrastructure
Compare Walrus: L1 native datalink vs. application layer solution
You can see that Irys is actually more like on-chain AWS: providing a one-stop service integrating storage, computing, and database for AI and other large-scale data applications, with efficiency, cost, and experience advantages.




At the end of last month, @josh_benaron, the founder of @irys_xyz, mentioned that the Irys mainnet was approaching, and then Irys' official tweet updated a Yapper ranking for Kaito sub-regions, estimating that Irys TGE is coming soon.
Although Irys did not mention that there would be Yaps rewards, logically speaking, updating the Kaito list also specifically reminded me that there are rewards that are not running. "Mouth Picking Players", come and roll the rankings~
The Chinese region is not rolled up now: I looked at it, and in the top 1,000 of the overall list, there are only 51 people in the Chinese region. Two related articles should be on the list.
List:
Irys is a programmable data chain, and its core feature or advantage is that data storage, calculation, and execution are all on the same chain.
At present, most data chains are stored and computed separately, and the data is calculated or executed off-chain and then returned to the on-chain smart contract. A verification method (such as a ZK proof) must be added to verify that the data or calculation results are correct.
Irys can be done directly in one stop, and has very significant advantages in terms of cost, speed, experience, and security.
